NSO YOUTH FELLOWS

About the Artist

The NSO Youth Fellowship Program is an orchestral training program for high school students. Past NSO Youth Fellowship participants have gone on to achieve great success with orchestras throughout the country including Philadelphia, Atlanta, Cleveland, and Houston symphonies. 

The program is intended for serious music students interested in pursuing orchestral music as a career. Open by audition only, this full-scholarship program provides high school students in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area the opportunity to study with a National Symphony Orchestra musician; observe rehearsals and attend concerts; and participate in master classes and discussions with musicians, conductors, guest artists, and NSO/Kennedy Center management. This is a monitored, performance-oriented program, designed to encourage students to become professional orchestral musicians. Participation by ethnic minorities is encouraged. Priority is given to students entering 10th grade in order to provide as sustained a training as possible.
